The Jazz are sixth in the Western Conference at 18-12 and hope the 27-year-old can provide a boost to their bench scoring.
In the Eastern Conference, the Cavs are rebuilding and have a 9-21 record, though they have won three consecutive games.
The trade, which is the third in as many years between the two teams, was made official on Tuesday.

"The two draft picks Cleveland will receive are a 2022 second-round pick via San Antonio and a 2023 second-round pick via Golden State," confirmed the Cavs.
Clarkson's contract expires at the end of this season, while former number five overall pick Exum has two years left to run.
